Chapter 112 - 112 105 Yoga Studio Underground Cave
?Chapter 112: 105 Yoga Studio Underground Cave Chapter 112: 105 Yoga Studio Underground Cave “An, I’m telling you, I’ve not only inherited a lot of my dad’s research, but I’ve also made some innovations,” he said. “Hey, I can perform witchcraft!”
“Let me show you, I’ve already mastered the simplest ‘Palm Flame’ witchcraft. Don’t think it’s not powerful, but it represents the breakthrough from nothing to something!”
As he spoke, the young boss suavely snapped his fingers.
Pop~
Lin An looked on curiously.
But…
It seemed like nothing happened!
“…” The young boss immediately became a bit embarrassed and let out a laugh, “Wait a sec.”
He took a deep breath and snapped his fingers again.
Pop~
No flame.
Not even a hint of fuzz.
But though the flame wasn’t there, the changes on the spiritual plane were ridiculously exaggerated.
Boom!
The lights in the room flickered, turning into red spots that couldn’t spread outwards. Everything in the field of vision darkened, and in the blackness, countless tentacles twisted and turned.
Along with a huge noise, the ceiling exploded, and an iron fence crashed down from the sky, slamming onto the floor.
Boom boom boom~
Fence after fence fell from the ceiling, blasting a big hole in the floor. As the bars crisscrossed, blood like floodgates burst from outside the room, and a massive head with antlers appeared faintly among them.
The tentacles in the dark twisted and climbed, crawling towards the young boss but seemed to be in great pain during the process, contorting and twitching, emitting bizarre screams.
“An? What’s with that look on your face?”
The young boss, not amused, reluctantly gave up casting the spell.
Suddenly, the terrible illusions disappeared.
Lin An had seen these illusions before; the young boss had seen them when there was a witchcraft-disguised surveillance in their office, and he was extremely angry. (Chapter 30)
“I suspect it’s my dad’s antlers blocking my spells.” He sounded a bit helpless, “Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and it’s really frustrating.”
“I mentioned stripping the antlers inside me to those uncles and got beaten up.”
His eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin An, “But you don’t have this limitation, I can teach you, and you can slowly catch up with my progress. Then you continue your quest, and once I find a way to get rid of the antlers, you can teach me back.”
“By that time, heh heh heh…”
He stood proudly with his hands on his hips, “We’ll be the only powerful duo in the world that possesses both the Witch Hunter Knight’s strength and the Witch’s casting abilities!”
He raised a hand high, gazing into the distance, “The antlers are just our beginning, but they will ultimately not hold us back, our future lies in the stars and the ocean.”
Lin An’s expression was a bit odd as he looked at the young boss, “I can tell you, the training method Professor Cao plans to teach me… well…”
The young boss’s eyes lit up and he leaned in, “What is it? Tell me, we can study it together, and if it’s good, we can incorporate it.”
Lin An smacked his lips, “He thinks it’s important to focus on Breathing Skill, to lower or even not consider the formalities of training and practicing.”
This information, Lin An had gotten from Doctor Zhang’s ranting words. (Chapter 14)
“What!”
The young boss’s eyes rounded with anger as he yelled, “What kind of self-righteous nonsense is that! It’s simply unorthodox!”
Tsk~
No wonder Professor Cao didn’t want to tell you his research findings.
Lin An sighed.
Sometimes it’s really desperate.
The path of a Witch and a Witch Hunter Knight is so utterly opposed, and it seems both are headed down a path of despair.
And those seeking a way out, after Lu Tingyu hit a dead end with his improvements to the Furnace, have been presented with completely opposite methods of improvement proposed by Professor Cao and the young boss.
Nobody knows!
If this is also a dual dead end.
And whether the ‘Mad Warlock’s Hollow’ Organization leader ‘Kapok Tree’ and Shenhou City Witches’ Association President Chen Xinmi have their unique paths of exploration.
In the path of cultivation, Lin An seems to lack no teachers, yet there’s no one to provide the right way out.
Perhaps, in the end, such things can only rely on oneself.
The complete opposition of cultivation paths made the young boss’s gaze turn grave. He cursed and complained, but he wasn’t foolish and wanted to discuss with Professor Cao, he ended up grumbling, “They all treat me like a kid, not discussing these things with me!”
In the end, he furrowed his brows and began to doubt if his method of cultivation was of any use.
“An, the path of cultivation is inherently full of the unknown. How about this, when we find some time, I’ll show you my dad’s research materials, and then you can choose for yourself whether you want to learn from me or from Mr. Cao,”
His expression changed, and he spoke with somewhat less confidence.
In the end, Lin An didn’t study the ‘Chive Garden Self-Sufficiency Furnace Plan 2.0 (Lu Dexian’s Improved Version)’ from the young boss; who knows if it would lead him down a rabbit hole.
The young boss had described everything as wonderfully ideal, having both the powerful physique of a Witch Hunter Knight and the spellcasting abilities of a Wizard…
Uh…
Lin An felt it was better to be cautious.
The best option right now would be to consult Professor Cao and Doctor Zhang, but they tolerated his existence only because he was in a ‘Shallow Awakening’ state and not yet technically a wizard.
If he now went to them saying, not only had he already become a wizard, but that his Emotional Fluctuation Period was in its later stages and the wildfire of emotions was about to erupt from his chest…
That would be practically seeking death.
Even if he had to be awakened as a wizard in order to stay undercover, it shouldn’t happen this fast.
It seemed like he could only turn to Chen Shuyun.
At least there was one thing, the Witch Hunter Knights had repackaged the ‘Chive Garden Furnace’ as the ‘Chen-style Flexibility Skill’ for the Witches’ Assembly and didn’t seem to mind the young boss practicing a similar cultivation method in secret; they should at least be within the control of Professor Cao and Doctor Zhang.
At least…
In case something really went wrong, he had those two to fall back on.
Lin An, claiming he was tired and needed rest, simply stayed in his new residence, and the young boss left soon after.
‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’ spread open, and only after personally watching the young boss drive away did Lin An take out his phone and dial Chen Shuyun’s number.
“I think I’ve got a problem…”
“I need you to teach me the ‘Worry-Style Softening Skill’ and ‘Anger-Style Softening Skill,’ do you have time right now?”
“Ah, this…” Chen Shuyun’s tender voice came from the other end, sounding hesitant, “Can it be tomorrow?”
Lin An instinctively ripped open his shirt and started scratching at his chest, as if he felt it was about to be scorched and cracked, and uncontrollably let out a beast-like roar, “It’s urgent.”
“Urgent?”
“Yeah, the emotional wildfire inside me is burning fiercer and fiercer, and I’m feeling an inexplicable excitement and restlessness right now.”
“Sss~” Chen Shuyun drew in a breath, “Hurry over now, I’m at the yoga studio!”
When Lin An arrived at the yoga studio by taxi, Chen Shuyun, wrapped tightly in an oversized trench coat, came to meet him.
Her delicate face was furrowed, lips moist and pink, slightly parted as though she was panting.
She also seemed to be faring poorly.
Only then did Lin An realize that the previous fight with the two mad male witches might not have affected just him.
Her voice became even weaker, with a strange breathiness as she softly said, “Come with me.”
She led Lin An through the back door of the yoga studio to a changing room in the practice area, grabbed the railing on the wall of the changing room, and suddenly the entire compartment began to change.
It turned into an elevator.
Lin An curiously surveyed the surroundings, then suddenly noticed that Chen Shuyun’s right hand—the one grabbing the railing—was covered in densely packed scales.
Those scales, almost identical to the ones on the white python he had seen before!
Her nails had also turned into hook-like claws, dark brown and sharp, gleaming with the luster of precious stones under the elevator light.
“Ah~”
Chen Shuyun had evidently noticed Lin An’s gaze and let out a startled cry, pulling the wide sleeves of her trench coat over her hand and looking at Lin An with a pleading expression, “Don’t… don’t look!”
Lin An pursed his lips and suddenly realized that, as Chen Shuyun watched him, there was no white python in her gaze, only a pitiful little squirrel squatting in the corner of the elevator, hugging its legs and weeping.
“Sorry,” Lin An shrugged and turned around to face away from Chen Shuyun.
The elevator fell faster and faster, making Lin An wonder if he was heading towards the center of the earth.
Finally, with a jolting shake, it came to a stop.
The doors of the elevator opened, revealing a huge underground cavern.
Numerous stalactites dangled from above, dripping water that formed little puddles on the floor.
In the depths of the cavern, there was a small lake with two bubbling springs in its center.
As he stepped in, a wave of humid air enveloped him, and the walls of the cavern were fitted with some lighting devices, their clear domes covered in condensation droplets.
Walking further in, circling the lake and turning a corner, a small cavern of about a dozen square meters appeared, filled with shelves that held all kinds of strange and wonderful items.
In the center of the ground, there were several large pots, and a figure stooped over, stirring with a huge spoon.
Upon seeing Lin An enter, the figure looked up and sneered, exhaling a puff of smoke, “I think I’ve warned you, during the Emotional Fluctuation Period of a wizard, aside from Innate Witchcraft, no other witchcraft should be used!”
It was Chen Xinmi.
Lin An smirked, “Without using it, I would have died on the first day of being undercover.”
“!!!” Chen Xinmi raised an eyebrow.
